If you’re planning to plant new flowers or renovating your yard, it’s crucial to ensure your pet’s safety. Certain plants are toxic or even fatal for your pet if they eat them.
It is simple to design an area that is pet-safe. These steps are simple to follow!
Establish Boundaries
It doesn’t matter how large or small your yard is, it is important to set boundaries for your pet’s safe space. Without boundaries your dog could easily escape and become lost or injured.
Boundaries can be constructed with a variety barriers such as fences or walls. They can also be gated. Fencing should be sturdy, sufficient so that dogs can’t leap over it, and gates should have double latches in order to ensure that there are no escapes.
Resilient plants are a good choice for high traffic areas and borders. They are more durable than delicate plants and can withstand some abuse.
You must ensure that the plants you put in your pet-friendly yard aren’t toxic to your pet. The garden center in your area should have a list of plants that are safe for dogs.
To give your pets an area where they can play safely, keep your lawn at least 3 inches tall. This will prevent them from injury by thin, sparse grass.
Create a path
Dogs are eager to play in the open air as the weather begins to warm up. It’s crucial to ensure that your organic yard is safe for your dog so they can enjoy their time outdoors.
A path is a great option to ensure that your garden is secure for dogs. A path allows your dog to walk around the lawn’s perimeter and make them feel like they have a role to play in the garden.
A clear path and well-defined border also help ward off pests. You can make use of a mixture of paw friendly substrates, such as small cedar chips or pea gravel to make the path.
Your dog will enjoy the long, winding paths. The plants that surround paths should have soft leaves, however, they must be strong enough to withstand the rough-housing of dogs. Also, for border control driftwood pieces can be used to persuade dogs to stay clear of the areas of plants.
Install a Sandbox
Sandboxes are safe and fun for pets to play in. It’s also a great opportunity to let them unleash their natural digging instincts which can help keep your lawn and soil healthy.
To create a sandbox, choose an area in the backyard that isn’t in the garden and dig a pit as deep as a foot. Then you should line the sides and the bottom with concrete that is fast-setting and fill it with playground sand available at hardware stores.
Keep your sandbox slightly damp in the summer and your dog will enjoy it even more! Another bonus is that it’s an ideal place for birds to bathe in the sand. The sandbox is also used to cover their feces and shield their nests from predators.
Create a Water Source
The cats and dogs are known for digging up soil and ruining turf. It’s important to have a dog-friendly yard to prevent messes.
A water source is an essential aspect of a pet-safe yard. This will help keep your pets healthy and hydrated, and also stop them from seeking water in the puddles and other areas of the yard.
It will stop your pet from breathing in chemicals and pesticides that are in the soil. Always read the labels and select fertilizers and insecticides that are pet-friendly.
Algae blooms also pose dangers to pets. Make sure you have a fence around all ponds, lakes and fountains in your backyard. This will keep your animals from drinking or licking the water that may be contaminated by microscopic bacteria like leptospira and Giardia.
